For a Burros Fries franchise, can the requirement for the franchisee or owner to participate in the day-to-day operations during the first year be waived, and if so, under what condition?

Franchisee acknowledges that a Burros & Fries Business involves hard work and long hours. Franchisee acknowledges that we have not represented that this Business is going to be easy for Franchisee (or any of its Owners) and agrees to participate in the day-to-day operation of the Business. Unless otherwise approved in writing by us, Franchisee (or one of its Owners) is required to participate in the dayto-day operation of the Business for at least the first year of operation. After Franchisee's first year of operation, Franchisee (or one of its Owners) is not required to participate in the day-to-day operation, however Franchisee agrees that the Business must be at all times under the operation of a General Manager approved by us (as described in Section 12.F of this Agreement). Franchisee agrees that the General Manager will oversee the operations and supervise all Employees. The General Manager will also be responsible for providing continuing guidance, oversight, day-to-day management, oversee all food preparation, enforce service standards and properly process all paperwork, reports and complaints.
